[Verse 1: Slug]
I'm looking at that empty gla**, like it might look back
And if it did would it recognize the fact
That I need to find a way to relax
That won't require me to drink away the rain and the fire that paint the tracks
The judgement pa**ed upon that awful taste
Time flies too fast but it's not a race
You see it on my face, I'm trying to concentrate
But everything's too blurry to accommodate
I gotta chase the impossible
But every option starts up with a shot and ends up as an obstacle
Maybe I should just drink at home
Tell me, why would a prisoner leave his throne?
Even when I stand still, I'm still on the run
I'm the son of my father, got a bottle of some
And this goes to those of us that only live once
But don't remember nothing when the morning comes
C'mon
C'mon
[Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample]
And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h
If I can't save the day I might as well fade away
And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h
If I can't save the day I might as well fade away
(Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
(Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
[Verse 2: St. Paul Slim]
Scene 2, this is the part
Where my face hits the windshield and it stops my heart
Driving the wrong f**ing way down a one way
Doing 55 in a 30, 3 AM, Monday
No one on the block but me and the cops
If I can make it to the crib, I'll do it again, watch
I been drinking since noon, f**ing buffoons
As far as amounts I lost count, I don't know what I consumed
I never do, drink 'till I'm dumb
Some say I'm lush, others think I'm a bum
But I think I'm in love 'till d**h do us part, and even then too
I'm a hell's kitchen, bottle of Don Q
I love the taste of it, put it to my face like I'm face f**ing
And the pain? It'll erase nothing
I'm delusional
I wrote this sh** hungover at my job noddin' off at my cubicle
Life is beautiful
[Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample]
And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h
If I can't save the day I might as well fade away
(Oh yeah) And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h
If I can't save the day I might as well fade away
(Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
(Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
